Hate to break it to ya but that’s just your UI from whatever app you’re using; you definitely have a “karma” score / upvote score, currently at 47 comment upvotes total.

As long as your instance is federated with other instances you should be able to upvote/downvote/interact with any other instance’s comments, posts, etc.

You probably were trying to do so with a beehaw.org instance which was recently defederated from most other Lemmy instances
